The study of electric vehicle and its energy sources are being incorporated in undergraduate and postgraduate syllabuses. This article discusses the basic concepts and design of energy storage systems for electricity based transpiration application. The content of this work elaborates the importance of energy storage systems in electric vehicle and hybridization of energy storage systems i.e. battery and ultracapacitor, which seems to be a promising topic among the final-year project students as well as an emerging research topic among the research scholars worldwide. Hence, this article is prepared in order to trigger those students’ knowledge in multisourced electric vehicle in depth. This study highly focuses on fuzzy logic-based energy sources power split strategy for a multisourced electric vehicle to enhance a better sharing of energy across the multisources with distinct characteristics like high specific power (ultracapacitor) and high specific energy (battery). In general, fuzzy logic controller best suits for a complicated real-time problem. Further it does not require a priori knowledge of a vehicle driving pattern over a time. Hence, the proposed control strategy can provide a satisfactory improvement in vehicle efficiency, assured reduction in stress factor, and energy consumption rate and reduced ultracapacitor sources state of charge difference in all different hybridization topologies. Thus, this paper can help students working on energy management problems of hybridization of energy sources.

Microgrids, comprising distributed generation, energy storage systems, and loads, have recently piqued users’ interest as a potentially viable renewable energy solution for combating climate change. According to the upstream electricity grid conditions, microgrid can operate in grid-connected and islanded modes. Energy storage systems play a critical role in maintaining the frequency and voltage stability of an islanded microgrid. As a result, several energy management systems techniques have been proposed. This paper introduces a microgrid system, an overview of local control in a microgrid, and an efficient EMS for effective microgrid operations using three smart controllers for optimal microgrid stability. We designed a microgrid consisting of renewable sources, Li-ion batteries, the main grid as a backup system, and AC/DC loads. The proposed system control was based on supplying loads as efficiently as possible using renewable energy sources and monitoring the battery’s state of charge. The simulation results using MATLAB Simulink demonstrate the performance of the three proposed microgrid stability strategies (PID, artificial neural network, and fuzzy logic). The comparison results confirmed the viability and effectiveness of the proposed technique for energy management in a microgrid which is based on fuzzy logic controllers.

Abstract Based on the research of electric vehicle energy storage stabilization, stochastic, adjustable, robust optimization, wind-solar complementary intelligent water pump system service double carbon,Which aims at: (1) In order to promote the consumption of wind power and photovoltaics in the grid, and reduce the pressure on the load of the distribution network;( 2) Consider wind power and photovoltaic output fluctuations and electric vehicle cluster energy storage systems, and use multiple electric vehicle clusters to coordinate and smooth tie-line power fluctuations. The model includes: (1) a load monitoring terminal; (2) a server for storing, processing and mapping all collected electrical energy data; (3) a set of user-centric electrical energy management visualization and prediction services. (4) A set of photovoltaic water pumps, pumped energy storage systems and electric vehicles for supplying water to impoverished areas . Experimental data and practical applications show that because the wind and wind have a certain degree of complementarity, but are greatly affected by the climate, pumped energy storage and electric vehicles can reduce the volatility of the system. The research results show that photovoltaic and wind power have great volatility, and the current investment and operating costs of energy storage systems are relatively high. Large-scale deployment of energy storage systems will seriously affect the economics of photovoltaic and wind power into the grid. It is recommended that users can transfer part of the daily electricity load on Saturdays to Monday to Friday. The results also show that the wind and solar complementary system can improve the utilization of wind and solar energy, form a good complementarity, and the efficiency of the system is improved by 1.24%. The addition of the wind-solar electric vehicle energy storage system has a certain impact on the operating cost of the system, and the grid-connected capacity is inversely proportional to the cost. When only thermal power is involved, the total operating cost of the system is 15.103 million yuan, and the total operating cost of the system after adding the wind-solar electric vehicle energy storage combined system is 876,000 yuan, and the total operating cost has dropped significantly. The power generation cost of wind turbines and pumped energy storage units is very small and can be ignored. The main cost of the system is the coal consumption cost of thermal power units and the start and stop costs of pumped energy storage units. After the combined wind storage system is added, the output of thermal power units in each period will be reduced. Small, the corresponding coal consumption is significantly reduced, so that the operating cost corresponding to each time period is significantly reduced.The overall situation is satisfactory. This paper studies the impact of thermal power units on carbon emissions, and the significance of energy transition and electric energy management to China's carbon neutrality . Every 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity replaced by a traditional thermal power unit is equivalent to saving 0.4 kilograms of coal energy and 4 liters of purified water. At the same time, it also reduces 1kg of carbon dioxide and 0.03kg of sulfur dioxide emissions. Liu Zuming’s team built the world’s first megawatt-level photovoltaic water pumping system. Take this as an example to calculate. Based on 5000 kWh a day, it can reduce 5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per day. According to photovoltaics, they can be used for 20 years, at least. Can reduce 36500 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, his team has built more than 160 photovoltaic power plants in the Yunnan Plateau, which can have a longer-term and comprehensive impact on carbon emissions. Jiangyi Township’s emergency water supply for drought relief and rural drinking water safety consolidation and improvement of the project’s annual water supply The volume is 410,800 m3, covering 6 village committees and 41 natural villages in Jiangyi Township, Jiangyi, Painter, Banqing, Gongcha, Horizontal Stone, and Nuolakun, and solves the problem of safe drinking water for 11,590 people and 3140 large livestock in Jiangyi Township. problem. In conclusion, the experimental evidence introduced in this article supports that the random adjustable robust optimization of wind-solar complementary smart pump home energy management system is feasible and valuable for residents in poverty-stricken areas and China, and the impact of energy transition on China's carbon neutrality is significant and far-reaching.

The current paper presents an energy storage system that stores the excessive energy, provided by a hybrid system of renewable energy sources, in the form of compressed air and thermal heat. Using energy storage systems together with renewable energy sources represents a major challenge that could ensure the transition to a viable economic future and a decarbonized economy. Thermodynamic calculations are conducted to investigate the performance of such systems by using Matlab simulation tools. The results indicate the values of primary and global efficiencies for various operating scenarios for the energy storage systems which use compressed air as medium storage, and shows that these could be very effective systems, proving the possibility to supply to the final user three types of energy: electricity, heat and cold function of his needs.

Energy storage systems are expected to play a fundamental part in the integration of increasing renewable energy sources into the electric system. They are already used in power plants for different purposes, such as absorbing the effect of intermittent energy sources or providing ancillary services. For this reason, it is imperative to research managing and sizing methods that make power plants with storage viable and profitable projects. In this paper, a managing method is presented, where particle swarm optimisation is used to reach maximum profits. This method is compared to expert systems, proving that the former achieves better results, while respecting similar rules. The paper further presents a sizing method which uses the previous one to make the power plant as profitable as possible. Finally, both methods are tested through simulations to show their potential.
